@rob, how do you feel about those of us DIYers who have started selling our DIY soylent to impatient Soylent backers? Is this something that you are happy to see, or do you think that it dilutes the Soylent brand or presents unwanted competition?

And more specifically, I thought it would be funny to sell a DIY recipe based on official Soylent, which I could call “Schmoylent”. Is this cute and harmless, or should I expect to hear from your legal department if I go ahead with this?

Better to apply your mind to measuring bits in to registers, which Soylent would allow more time for

Indeed - while Soylent was unable to arrive in time to boost my academic programming endeavors, it does seem timed just right to enhance my jump into industry. Let’s see if some Soylent-powered interviews just might give me the edge to land a job at Google, right?

This is fantastic. I’m curious, as one of the very few people who have experienced startup culture from inside an incubator and through the crowd-funding route, what lessons have you learned, and what would you do differently?

It strikes me that these are two VERY opposite ends of the spectrum, and both are also very new.

The X dollars a day for Soylent is something I see as long term. Soylent is an idea that can catch on and go global. Rosa as a US based company will likely never sell Soylent to the masses Africa or Asia, since the economics aren’t there. There’s going to be a certain floor price for Soylent to customers in the US from companies producing it in the US.

But there’s no reason why other countries might not produce their own Soylents using locally sourced and refined ingredients for locals at much lower prices.

@CarltonLemley that is a very involved question that I plan to address in time through a series of more in depth writings.

For now, I must be on my way, but it’s been a pleasure. I’m always around and love to see the interesting discussions here. Many thanks to @JulioMiles, @lesley, and @codinghorror for making the discourse a fun and pleasant place to be and let’s chat again soon.

Whoa - just had a thought. What if Soylent will cure me of all the horrible gross allergies I’ve had forever. Those allergies are just more stuff that keeps me from being as productive as I could be, and if they could be gone… Mind blown.
